Su Yu glanced at the newcomer and saw that he was a seventh-rank cultivator, but already possessed nearly eighth-rank cultivation.
Fan Xian is clearly no match for him now, and can't dodge in time.
The sword tip was about to strike Fan Xian's brow.
Chapter 54 The Blind Man: Let the Cripple Give Me an Explanation
After training with Wu Zhu for so long, Fan Xian thought he was already a master.
Occasionally, the burst of true energy from his body could even blast a teacher away.
Therefore, he wasn't initially very afraid of the assassin's attack.
Until he realized that the assassin's sword was so fast that he had no time to dodge it.
There wasn't even time to react and call out to Uncle Wuzhu.
At this moment, Fan Xian was scared half to death.
I felt like my life was about to end here.
There's also the possibility that it might implicate the husband who was traveling with us. Oh well, what a terrible situation.
Su Yu, standing to the side, could already sense Fan Xian's tension.
However, they showed no intention of making any move.
It was obvious that the assassin wasn't targeting him.
As for Fan Xian's personal safety...
It's not that he, as the master, is inhumane.
The main thing is that he knows the blind man is there.
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
He handles teaching matters, the blind man handles murder matters.
Sure enough, just when the assassin thought he was about to succeed...
The person who had been quietly watching from the doorway of the grocery store came out.
Using a lightness skill that ordinary people couldn't understand, he arrived in front of the assassin in an instant.
Then he gently touched the assassin with the iron rod in his hand.
Then, the assassin's eyes widened, and he died in shock.
Fan Xian hiccuped, still feeling a bit shaken.
He then shook his head at the assassin and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"So fragile, what kind of assassin are you?"
Su Yu rubbed her forehead, only four words immediately popping into her mind.
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power.
This kid's gotten really arrogant now.
It's not like the time when he was just overwhelmed by the assassin's strength.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow, a malicious smile appearing on her lips.
"Stay away, or you might not be quite dead yet."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian was so shocked that he jumped back three feet.
Then he saw Mr. Su (4460) and Uncle Wuzhu looking at him as if he were an idiot.
Only then did she realize that she had been tricked by her husband again.
Fan Xian stomped his foot angrily and complained.
"gentlemen!"
Su Yu shrugged and spread his hands.
His gaze then returned to the assassin's corpse, and he asked.
"What is the assassin's identity?"
Wu Zhu searched the assassin's body for a while, then said coldly.
"People from the Overwatch Council."
Fan Xian leaned his head closer again.
"How did you get it?"
"Looks sleazy?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but silently agree.
This assassin did indeed have a somewhat sleazy appearance.
Wu Zhu ignored Fan Xian's pointless question and simply said in a cold tone.
"Go and call Fei Jie out."
Fan Xian nodded, and then ran towards the Fan residence.
A short while later, Fei Jie was summoned to the scene, looking completely bewildered.
"Who is this person?"
Looking at the corpse on the ground, which had been stabbed to death by the five adults with an iron rod.
Fei Jie frowned and asked in confusion.
It's obvious that the person who could be killed by the Five Elders must have been an assassin who wanted to kill Fan Xian.
But what puzzled him was why they were in such a hurry to call him over?
Aren't they all dead already?
Unless, of course, this assassin has some connection to him.
Fan Xian scratched his head and asked.
"Teacher, this is your colleague, don't you recognize him?"
Fei Jie frowned and walked towards the corpse, glanced at it closely, and shook his head.
"do not know."
"The Supervisory Council is very large, and there are many people."
"It's impossible for me to have seen and remember them all."
Wu Zhu tossed the token he had found over there.
Fei Jie looked at it carefully for a while and thought about it.
He then looked at Fan Xian and smiled.
"It seems that your aunt surnamed Liu is far away in Kyoto."
"I finally couldn't hold back any longer and I'm going to kill you."
Fan Xian looked surprised, hissed, and then nodded.
"So it was Aunt Liu."
Yes, that makes sense now.
I knew it! These past few days, that scoundrel Zhou has suddenly become so arrogant towards me.
It turned out that his master had given the order.
He figured he was going to die anyway, so he naturally didn't bother pretending anymore.
Su Yu's expression showed slight surprise, but her tone remained calm.
"Could a concubine from an earl's household really mobilize people from the Censorate?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian realized that something was amiss.
"Yes, teacher."
"Doesn't your Censorate only listen to the Emperor?"
Fei Jie squinted, his slightly brown pupils filled with contemplation.
"This person is a newcomer from the Fourth Bureau and has not yet been formally incorporated into the Supervisory Council's staff."
"And one of the officials in the surrounding area happened to be related to that concubine."
"Perhaps this is how the assassination order was arranged."
Su Yu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Given his status and position, asking this far is sufficient.
Too many prompts are meaningless and only add unnecessary trouble.
In fact, Su Yu already knew that this person was from the Surveillance Bureau long before Wu Zhu found the token.
The person initially planned to poison the osmanthus cake, but later decided against it.
They must have seen Fei Jie. With such a master of poisons present, they naturally wouldn't dare to show off their limited skills.
Even if he hadn't witnessed Fei Jie's strength, he should have at least heard of it.
Therefore, they chose to make their move against Fan Xian when Fei Jie was not around.
The reason why Wu Zhu wasn't considered is probably because they were unaware of the existence of the blind man.
It's possible that the person behind him didn't tell him. 3
But more likely, the person behind him might not even know of Wu Zhu's existence. 7
This is easily proven. 1
Just by observing, you can tell what rank the next person to arrive will be. 7
It doesn't matter who comes.
